"I am a little reluctant to share this rare gem because he might get taken away from me. Jesse came to my rescue when our neighborhood got between 4-5 ft of snow preventing any of us to leave our homes, some neighbors for over a week. I worked with Jesse for 4 days organizing 34 neighbors driveways to be plowed quickly and efficiently by grouping the neighbors addresses together and sending Jesse out everyday with a plowing itinerary. I can't tell you how grateful the neighbors were to Jesse. Some of their comments to me were, "Jesse is a bomb!" "Jesse just worked his magic and I am free to leave my house!" "Jesse is great!" "Jesse is a hard worker!". The list of praise goes on and on. 34 great reviews from neighbors in just this one review. You can't go wrong by hiring Jesse. He is a perfectionist!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
